Answer 2

IItalian Rum Cake is a delicious 3 or 4 layer cake, which is a tradition for birthdays/special occasions in many Italian families. There are 3 basic parts to the cake; sponge cake layers, pasticciera cream (filling) and (stabilized) whipped cream. Below are the recipes for all three parts. If you make it with 3 layers, omit the whipped cream layer. The sponge cake and pasticciera creams may be made a day ahead. The whipped cream should be whipped just before assembling the cake. Prep/Cook times do not include the 3-4 hour chilling time for the pasticciera cream.
ONLY YOU see your private notes, and they print with the recipe.

Answer 3

you should continuously be very selective approximately who you share your balls with. you do no longer prefer to circulate sharing or letting basically every person flavor your balls. I propose some people could be speedy to objective to scouse borrow and marketplace your balls, and you purely does not want that! on the different hand, i like Bourbon and Rum Balls and that i could rather prefer to flavor yours, with the aid of fact i'm specific it may be heavy on the Rum. Mmm rum.
